Question

I stumbled on this acronym this morning and thought it relevant to this group: JOMO: THE JOY OF MISSING OUT ..... (the anthesis of FOMO: the fear of missing out)

“Oh the joy of missing out.

When the world begins to shout

And rush towards that shining thing;

The latest bit of mental bling–

Trying to have it, see it, do it,

You simply know you won't go through it;

The anxious clamoring and need

This restless hungry thing to feed.

Instead, you feel the loveliness;

The pleasure of your emptiness.

You spurn the treasure on the shelf

In favor of your peaceful self;

Without regret, without a doubt.

Oh the joy of missing out”

—Michael Leunig

And that right there is what serenity is all about! I have been making my way to that joy for some time now. I feel that peace quite often now. Thank you for posting this.
